Abstract

The objective of the present study was to determine, technically and economically, what spacing among plants would be better to grow rubber (Hevea sp.) root-stock, in the climate and soil conditions of Manaus, AM, Brazil, Twelve treatments constituted by twelve different arrangements of spacing among rows and among plants in the field were tested. It was proved that the 60 cm x 15cm spacing is the best for producing rubber budded-stump using green budding, while the 70 cm x 15 cm spacing is the best for producing budded-stump using brown-budding, followed by the 60cm x 15cm.
